If that is the message you are getting you probably have the software setup properly. I am not familiar with the Tomb Raider game you are trying to use it with, but perhaps some configuration is needed. For games that do not have support built in for a particular controller such as your 360, you have to set up a Key Map. I am not sure if you are familiar with this. Lets say in Tomb Raider the key to jump was the space bar. You would have to setup the control pad software so that space bar was linked to a particular button such as A, B, a thumb stick ext. You assign a button for every key on the keyboard.

If you are unsure of how to do this I wouldn't mind doing a screen share session with you to try and figure this out. If you are interested let me know. I will be available for a while tonight. If not we can set something up for a later time.

I believe the software you downloaded is only the drivers for the controller. I believe you will need another program to actually configure your games. I looked it up and many websites talk about using a program called Xpadder. There might be some others. If you want I could look into this a bit more for you and then try and help you get something working tomorrow.

I don't know what they are referring to when they are saying to use auto assign. If you can not select your controller from within the game or only get the option of using the keyboard, then you will have to use what I was talking about. The best software to do this seems to be Xpadder. It use to be free but now it cost 10.00 USD to download. It makes your controller emulate the keyboard allowing you to play any game that does not have built in support for your controller. If it is a Microsoft game then perhaps they are right that it should support the controller. I would think you would have to set this up from within the game itself though. The 360 controller software is just the driver needed to make Windows recognize the device. What Tomb Raider Game/Version is this?

Just checking up with you to see if you still need help getting the controller working. If so let me know a time that is good for you and we can continue. I am on Eastern Time US and Canada, but I am flexible. Thank you.
